Like, gag us with a spoon. For its 30th anniversary, Artscape is going all 1980s on us. So we figured that now’s the time to determine once and for all which was the better 10-year period: the ’80s or ’90s. Let the battle begin!

MADONNA’80s Fishnets; fun sex; “Material Girl”; not telling Pepsi that the video tied to a spokeswoman deal features burning crosses; Sean Penn’90s: Vouging; weird ‘Sex’; trying to tell us that she could have played baseball during World War II; Warren Beatty/Dennis RodmanWinner: 1980s! More fun, less poseur.

CARS’80s: Introduction of the Honda Accord; something actually called the Ford Probe; station wagons; places for music-video chicks to writhe upon’90s: SUVs; the new VW Beetle; the omnipresent Ford Focus; Porsche Boxster; huge-ass trucks you need a ladder to get intoWinner: Much love for the Accord, but the 1990s was sleeker.

HAIR’80s: Gelled, moussed, sprayed. Big, basically. And don’t forget the scrunchie’90s: The “Rachel”; Caesar cut; long sideburns; whatever Vanilla Ice was sportingWinner: We’re giving this one to the ’90s. We’re pretty sure ’80s hair products are responsible for the hole in the ozone layer. Prove us wrong, Al Gore.

TV’80s:Bill Cosby sweaters; Alex P. Keaton; “Alf”; the TGIF lineup; the good years of “Kids Incorporated”; “Cheers”’90s: Tim Allen; “ER”; “Law & Order” chungs its first chung-chung; the good years of “The Simpsons”; NBC’s “Must See” lineupWinner: The Cosby factor is significant, but we’re going with the ’90s quality over the dominance of cheesy family sitcoms.
